Lars Eckstein, Re-Membering the Black Atlantic - On the Poetics and Politics of Literary Memory
Original eighteenth and nineteenth-century slave narratives have long been recognized as foundational in African-American literature, and internationally renowned critics have made the reading public aware of American literatureâs debt towards its ancestors. During the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, when such a legacy was acknowledged and claimed, the slave narratives were revisited by writers, historians, and critics in light of the evolution in twentieth-century society.

âMy mouth is the keeper of both speech and silenceâŠâ, or The Vocalisation of Silence in Caribbean short stories by Edwige Danticat
LâoralitĂ© dans la littĂ©rature a souvent Ă©tĂ© associĂ©e Ă lâutilisation du crĂ©ole ou du dialecte, surtout dans le contexte caribĂ©en oĂč lâanglais, plus ou moins crĂ©olisĂ©, est la seule langue, et oĂč tant dâinfluences se sont mĂ©langĂ©es, du conte africain au roman anglais. Mais on peut aussi apprĂ©hender le concept et la pratique de lâoralitĂ© Ă travers son interface avec les notions de voix et de silence. LâĂ©crivain haitienne Edwige Danticat, auteur des deux recueils de nouvelles Krik ? Krak ! et The Dew Breaker et qui Ă©crit en anglais, amĂšne Ă la surface du texte lâhistoire non dite, source de souffrance, et utilise aussi le silence tant comme thĂšme que comme outil rhĂ©torique. La façon dont le texte Ă©crit fait rĂ©sonner la voix qui parle ou la voix qui se tait, la façon dont ce texte sâorganise autour de la voix et du silence, contribue Ă transformer un texte dâoppression en texte de libĂ©ration
The cityscape in a few caribbean-canadian short stories
La plupart des Ă©crivains canadiens dâorigine caribbĂ©enne vivant et Ă©crivant dans des villes, on peut aisĂ©ment comprendre que le paysage urbain devienne un topos littĂ©raire qui permette Ă lâidentitĂ© caribbĂ©o-canadienne de se structurer. La ville est non seulement un creuset dans lequel la diaspora caribbĂ©enne va tenter de se fondre, mais encore une toile de projection idĂ©ale pour la formation de nouveaux territoires et la recomposition dâune image identitaire malmenĂ©e. Câest Ă travers lâĂ©vocation de nouvelles Ă©crites par des auteurs aussi reconnus que Austin Clarke, Neil Bissoondath, Dionne Brand, ou moins connus comme Althea Prince, que cet article se propose dâexaminer les diffĂ©rentes dynamiques lancĂ©es par ces textes autour de la ville

Amerindian Ante-Coloniality in Contemporary Caribbean Writing: Crossing Borders in the Caribbean with Jan Carew, Cyril Dabydeen and Pauline Melville
International audienceWhen speaking of the Caribbean, one often finds it difficult to reconcile the singularterm used to refer to it and its linguistic, social, historical and aesthetic plurality. Even ifthe archipelago has shared similar experiences of traumatic transportation andindentureship, the specificities of each island have hindered the emergence of a sharedCaribbean identity. Emphasis has been put on the extinction of the indigenousAmerindian peoples, but Amerindian resilience has not been granted sufficient scope.Only a few writers have chosen to imaginatively return to that Amerindian past thatprecedes the trauma of forced transportation â a past that has almost receded out ofcollective memory, dominated as it has been by the African dimension. In the wake ofWilson Harris, Pauline Melville is one of the writers who have been trying to gain accessto a collective identity that might be termed ante-colonial. With reference to the work ofMelville, Jan Carew and Cyril Dabydeen, this article reads the presence of Amerindianculture in Caribbean literature as a renewed symbol of resistance to domination and asymbol of a shared identity, providing a stronger bond between the land and the people.It argues that this dĂ©tour through Amerindian culture finds its meaning in the desire tooverride colonial dispossession, thus providing a possible focal point of connection forthe Caribbean at large

The Routledge Companion to Caste and Cinema in India
International audienceThis Companion is the first study of caste and its representation in Indian cinema. It unravels the multiple layers of caste that feature directly and indirectly in Indian movies, to examine not only the many ways caste pervades Indian society and culture but also how the struggle against it adopts multiple strategies.The Companion:âą critiques Indian cinema production through the lens of anti-caste discourse;âą traces the history of films beginning from the early twentieth century, focusing on caste representations across India, including Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil as well as silent films;âą makes a foray into OTT media;âą includes analysis of popular films such as Padmaavat, Masaan, Fandry, Sairat, Sujata, Article 15, Chomana Dudi, Lagaan, Court, Ee.Ma.Yau, Kaala, Pariyerum Perumal, Perariyathavar, among many others, to critique and problematise the idea of caste.A major intervention, this book alters traditional approaches to âcasteâ in Indian cinemas and society and explores new political strategies implemented through cinematic creation and aesthetics. It will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of film studies, social discrimination and exclusion studies, human rights, popular culture, and South Asian studies. It will also be of interest to enthusiasts of Indian cinematic history
